petal

/ˈpɛtl̩/noun

One of the colored, usually soft parts that form the outer ring of a flower.

Example sentences

“A single petal drifted down from the cherry tree.”
“The bride walked down an aisle covered in rose petals.”

Sounds exactly like 'pedal', the part you push with your foot, and 'peddle', to sell. Only the spelling tells them apart.
